Ozark and Disenchantment: What’s new on Netflix this August

Standouts include season two of Ozark, No Country for Old Men, Clerks, and Batman Begins

July is quickly coming to a close – and with that comes new Netflix content for the month of August. This upcoming release is perhaps one of the most feature packed in recent months. Not only is the streaming giant releasing a wealth of original content, but they’re also peppering users with several blockbuster movies throughout the month.

Of the Netflix Originals, season two of Ozark and Disenchantment are undoubtedly the most anticipated. When it comes to Ozark – what else needs to be said? It’s fair to assume most of us have been dying to watch season two ever since binge-watching the first season last year.

Ozark season two

Disenchantment is an entirely new animated franchise from Matt Groening – best known for hit shows like The Simpsons and Futurama. From what we know so far, the series is a medieval fantasy which revolves around a “rebellious and alcoholic princess,” named Bean, her elf companion Elfo, and her ‘personal demon’ called Luci. Bean will be voiced by Abbi Jacobson – best known for her role in Broad City. The first season is expected to be released on August 17th.

As far as feature films, Clint Eastwood’s Million Dollar Baby and Gran Torino, the Coen Brother’s No Country for Old Men, and Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins are the standouts. All except No Country for Old Men (Aug. 17th) will be available starting August 1st.

Other releases worthy of mention include Clerks, The Aviator, Chernobyl Diaries, The Informant, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, P.S. I Love You, Secretariat, Stripes – (all set for an Aug. 1st release date) – Paid in Full (Aug. 5th), Evan Almighty (Aug. 16th), Year One (Aug. 21st), and Ghoul (Aug. 24th) will also be added.

Unfortunately, the start of a new month means the removal of content too. In August, Netflix will pull Finding Dory (Aug. 1st), Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (Aug. 1st), St. Vincent (Aug. 10th), Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (Aug. 16th), The 40-Year-Old Virgin (Aug. 16th), Sausage Party (Aug. 23th), and The Road (Aug. 25th).
